Veterans who are given an opioid for pain, rarely got addicted if they had a warm and loving childhood, and lived a life with community and friends.
Veterans who had many Adverse Childhood Experiences (A high ACE score), such as coming from a broken home, or faced neglect and isolation growing up, were much more likely to become addicted to the opioids they were given to treat pain.
- ChrisRR 6y agoGot a source for that?
- darkerside 6y agoI'd say it's much more likely related to their existing support network (which is correlated to childhood situation). See the Rat Park study. Do you have any evidence as basis for your theory?

Veterans at that stage are also usually young, so if they came from a broken home, or had isolation growing up, they'd still return to something like that. What about veterans that have build a succesful family and working life in between (aside from having had childhood trauma)?
